Hi,
I intend to install an Oracle V8.0.4 standby-DB on Windows-NT.
Has anybody done this before and would like to share some experiences?
I have a few specific questions:
(1) Instead of transferring the archived log-files to the standby-
database, is it possible to use the new Oracle8-parameter "LOG_ARCHIVE_
DUPLEX_DEST" to write a copy of the archived log files directly to
the standby-machine?
(2) The manual says that only archived logs can be applied to the
standby-database. Why isn't it possible to apply the current online
redolog file of the master database to the standby-db in case I want
to activate my standby-db and do not want to loose all transactions
in the current online redolog file?
Thanks for your help,
